Point View is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Blair County, Pennsylvania, United States. It was first listed as a CDP prior to the 2020 census.[2]
The CDP is in eastern Blair County, along the southwest edge of Catharine Township. It is in the valley of Township Run, which forms the boundary between Catharine and Frankstown Township. The small, steep valley is between Short Mountain to the east and the south end of Canoe Mountain to the west, and drains south to the Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River. Pennsylvania Route 866 is the southern edge of the CDP; the highway leads southeast down the Frankstown Branch 3 miles (5 km) to Williamsburg and west 0.5 miles (0.8 km) to U.S. Route 22, which continues west 9 miles (14 km) to Hollidaysburg, the Blair county seat.
